Le Chat, Philippe Geluck
Le Chat (French for “The Cat”) is a Belgian comic strip, created by cartoonist Philippe Geluck.
Le Chat is an adult, human-sized, obese, anthropomorphic cat who typically wears a suit. He always has the same facial expression and often comes up with elaborate reasonings which lead to hilariously absurd conclusions, e.g. by taking metaphors literally or by adding increasingly unlikely what-ifs to ordinary situations.
Mr Rudy has his very own original drawing, personally inscribed by Mr Geluck!

Iconic restaurant for mussels in Brussels so we came to this restaurant. It's a good thing we booked as it gets quite busy at peak meal times, although it is fairly big inside with seating over 2 floors.As it is a popular restaurant, the tables are very close to each other but the service was fairly good and quick.We ordered the garlic & cheese mussels gratin which comes with fries and the mix seafood spaghetti. They were both delicious. The mussels were buttery and the spaghetti was creamy with good flavour. The food came surprisingly fast as well.I only knocked 1 star as they served complimentary bread to all tables around us but for some reason, they didn't give us any. Which we found a little disappointing as it would've been nice to scoop up the remaining garlic butter from the mussels and the cream sauce from the pasta with some bread.Apart from that, all in all a good experience.

The food here tastes great! The mussels in garlic butter and herbs blew me away, and I enjoyed dipping the fries in the leftover oil. I would say that the service could be improved. I agree with some of the other reviewers regarding the rude staff.

Midye yemeden dönmeyelim diye girdik.. Önerenler olmuştu sosyal medya ünlülerinden. Tencerede sebzeli sulu bir Midye geldi. Şimdiden söyleyim Midye dolma gibisi yok. Çocuklar çocuk menüsü aldı. Spagetti bolognese ve tatlı. Fiyat uyguna geldi. Ama herşey iyi de garsonların bir kısmı oldukça kaba. Özellikle kadın olan.. Yani gelmeseniz bir şey kaybetmezsiniz..

Uno dei locali più noti e più turistici del centro storico di Bruxelles. Ci siamo andati due volte in una settimana e, in entrambi i casi, siamo rimasti un po' delusi. Il locale è molto ampio e c'è sempre posto (e ciò è sicuramente positivo). Si dovrebbe però prestare un po' più di attenzione al menu...Se si scrive "chicon gratiné", si dovrebbe anche specificare che l'indivia non è semplicemente gratinata ma viene avvolta nel prosciutto e servita ricoperta di besciamella o panna...E se una persona è allergica al lattosio? Per quel che riguarda i piatti, io ho preso il pesce che però è arrivato bruciacchiato. Il servizio è comunque veloce e i camerieri socievoli.

Brussels滞在中に2度訪問しました。外観の雰囲気が良さそうだったので、訪問。店内はお客さんが多く人気のお店だと感じました。店員さんもフレンドリーで好印象。ムール貝の定番料理を食べたくて、ムール・マリニエール(白ワイン蒸し)を頼みました。お店のおすすめセットということで、ビールとポテトが付いて約20ユーロ。日本人としては注文しやすい価格帯だと思います。白ワインで蒸されたムール貝はアサリよりも貝の風味が強くなった味、セロリの香りも感じられて美味しかったです。ただ、貝類が得意ではない人や香りの強い野菜が苦手という人にはおすすめできません。別で注文したガーリックとチーズがトッピングされたムール貝プレートはクセが少なくとても美味しかったです(プレートのみで約20ユーロ)。個人的には酒蒸しよりもチーズ＆ガーリックがおすすめです！ビールはもちろん美味しい！スモールサイズでも十分飲みごたえがあるので、是非お試し下さい！

You gotta try the mussels and frites here, seriously, just order them without even looking at the menu! If you think that's not enough, just grab some frites and waffles as a snack between lunch and dinner. I'd suggest having a light dinner here and then heading out to enjoy some more Belgian beers in the city. The staff are totally used to tourists and they've got multilingual menus, so you won't have any trouble at all.

To be honest, the food was good. I had mussels with curry, a waffle, and a beer for €62.However, as the dining room started to empty, I noticed mice (or small rats) running around. I mentioned this to the manager, who told me that nothing could be done since the doors are open, although regular pest control is supposedly carried out.In terms of hygiene, there is clearly room for improvement.

If you’re heading to Brussels, Chez Léon is essentially the "Grand Central Station" of Belgian dining. It is arguably the most famous spot in the city for moules-frites, and while its location on Rue des Bouchers, walking into Chez Léon feels like stepping into a well-oiled machine that hasn't stopped since 1893. It’s loud, fast-paced, and massive—spread across several interconnected historic houses.It’s not a "romantic candlelit dinner" spot. It’s a "clinking beer glasses and steaming pots of mussels" spot. Expect paper placemats, brisk service, and a lively mix of tourists and locals.The waiters are professionals great service no wait for the meals they are generally friendly if you catch their eye.The Gold Standard for BasicsYou go here for one thing: The Mussels.Order the Moules Spéciales (mussels steamed with celery, onions, and butter). They are consistently fresh because the turnover here is so high—they go through tons of mussels a day.They are classic Belgian style—thick, double-fried, and perfectly salty.If you aren't in the mood for a giant pot of mussels, try the Mussels au Gratin (baked with garlic butter and cheese) or their Tomato Crevette (shrimp-stuffed tomato).They brew their own light, refreshing beer called Léon which is specifically designed to cut through the richness of the butter and fries.The "Formule Léon": This is one of the best deals in central Brussels. For around €15–€18, you usually get a solid portion of mussels, fries, and a beer.A huge perk if you’re traveling with family—children under 12 often eat for free when accompanied by an adult.You want the quintessential "Mussels in Brussels" experience without the stress of being ripped off by a low-quality tourist trap. It’s reliable, historic, and fun.You want a quiet, intimate meal or "fine dining" service. It can feel a bit like a factory during peak hours.It’s right next to the Grand Place, so it’s perfect for a meal after seeing the square. If you want to avoid the heaviest crowds, try going for an early lunch or a late dinner (they stay open late!).×

Franchement cher pour ce que c'est. Les prix est très élevé et les saveurs ne sont pas non plus incroyable. OK.

Los mejillones están exquisitos. Tanto gratinados como con salsa.

An English message will follow the Italian one.Magnifico ristorante, aperto dal 1893. Le loro cozze sono deliziose e il personale è gentile e professionale.Lo raccomanderei per ogni tappa a Bruxelles.Wonderful restaurant which is open since 1893. Their mussels are delicious and the personnel is outstanding. Very recommended.

Dans le genre c'est la référence.....L'établissement de Bruxelles est impressionnant et on se sent très bien dans ce cadre avec le petit bémol du bruit...mais c'est la contrepartie du succès.On reviendra 🤗

You gotta try the mussels and frites here, seriously, just order them without even looking at the menu! If you think that's not enough, just grab some frites and waffles as a snack between lunch and dinner. I'd suggest having a light dinner here and then heading out to enjoy some more Belgian beers in the city. The staff are totally used to tourists and they've got multilingual menus, so you won't have any trouble at all.

To be honest, the food was good. I had mussels with curry, a waffle, and a beer for €62.However, as the dining room started to empty, I noticed mice (or small rats) running around. I mentioned this to the manager, who told me that nothing could be done since the doors are open, although regular pest control is supposedly carried out.In terms of hygiene, there is clearly room for improvement.

If you’re heading to Brussels, Chez Léon is essentially the "Grand Central Station" of Belgian dining. It is arguably the most famous spot in the city for moules-frites, and while its location on Rue des Bouchers, walking into Chez Léon feels like stepping into a well-oiled machine that hasn't stopped since 1893. It’s loud, fast-paced, and massive—spread across several interconnected historic houses.It’s not a "romantic candlelit dinner" spot. It’s a "clinking beer glasses and steaming pots of mussels" spot. Expect paper placemats, brisk service, and a lively mix of tourists and locals.The waiters are professionals great service no wait for the meals they are generally friendly if you catch their eye.The Gold Standard for BasicsYou go here for one thing: The Mussels.Order the Moules Spéciales (mussels steamed with celery, onions, and butter). They are consistently fresh because the turnover here is so high—they go through tons of mussels a day.They are classic Belgian style—thick, double-fried, and perfectly salty.If you aren't in the mood for a giant pot of mussels, try the Mussels au Gratin (baked with garlic butter and cheese) or their Tomato Crevette (shrimp-stuffed tomato).They brew their own light, refreshing beer called Léon which is specifically designed to cut through the richness of the butter and fries.The "Formule Léon": This is one of the best deals in central Brussels. For around €15–€18, you usually get a solid portion of mussels, fries, and a beer.A huge perk if you’re traveling with family—children under 12 often eat for free when accompanied by an adult.You want the quintessential "Mussels in Brussels" experience without the stress of being ripped off by a low-quality tourist trap. It’s reliable, historic, and fun.You want a quiet, intimate meal or "fine dining" service. It can feel a bit like a factory during peak hours.It’s right next to the Grand Place, so it’s perfect for a meal after seeing the square. If you want to avoid the heaviest crowds, try going for an early lunch or a late dinner (they stay open late!).
